The Stranger Things mobile game will keep you distracted until Season 2

Belinda Weber

Today, out of nowhere, the streaming service dropped a 16-bit free-to-play adventure game for Android and iOS, based on season one of the hit show.

At this point, I'm sure all you Stranger Things fans are aware that the new season of the TV show is launching on Netflix on October 27th. The show revolves around a group of boys in smalltown in who stumble on a mysterious government research project and a telekinetic girl - and the alternate universe of the Upside Down. Speed away on your bike as Mike Wheeler, channel your inner Lucas with a Wrist Rocket slingshot, or even *literally* break down barriers as Nancy with her badass bats.

Below you can check out the teaser, with the game now available on the App Store and Google Play.

Of the many sequels and continuations coming to cinemas and televisions this holiday season, few are more hyped than Netflix'sStranger Things. There are elements of combat and puzzle solving, and players will be able to unlock more characters with different skills as they progress in the game.

This is a great way to get into the Stranger Things mindset ahead of the series two release on Netflix this 31 October.

The animation and graphical quality of the game is also quite remarkable, and the pixel art is exceptionally well done. Normal difficulty is for those who like to explore at their own pace, however, some might enjoy the Death difficulty level.

Controls for "Stranger Things: The Game" is very simple. It's also free, and you don't have to worry about micro-transactions (double bonus!). But I may have gone too far: "it seemed like every day I was crying or freaking out", Ryder noted about her eventual portrayal of the character.

"Stranger Things: The Game" will offer over 10 hours of gameplay, six dungeons and over 30 quests, according to Touch Arcade.
